An answering service for photographers, for when you're behind the camera
You're on a shoot with a camera to your eye and a couple in front of you, fully present where you need to be. The phone is on silent in your bag, and a couple planning a wedding is calling to ask if you're free for their date. You can't answer, and they're emailing three other photographers anyway. The enquiry goes to whoever responds first.
$0 founder setup, then from $199/month CAD. Month-to-month. Live in 48 hours.
Photography is enquiry-driven, and the people enquiring are shopping several photographers at once. A wedding, a family session, a brand shoot — the booking starts with a call or a question, and you're often behind the camera, editing in the zone, or simply away from the phone when it comes. An enquiry that hits voicemail competes with every other photographer the client is contacting, and slow is the same as lost.
Diane answers your line while you shoot. She captures the enquiry — the type of session, the date, the location, the rough scope — answers what you've told her about your packages and availability, and books the consult call into your calendar so you talk to the client while they're still deciding. You stay present on the shoot you're on and still catch the booking for the next one.
Clients enquire with three photographers at once. The one who books the consult first usually books the shoot. Diane makes that you.

Photographers questions
Can Diane capture an enquiry and book a consult call?
Yes. She takes the session type, the date, the location, and the rough scope, answers what you've shared about packages and availability, and books the consult into your calendar so you connect with the client while they're still choosing.
Does she handle wedding, portrait, and commercial enquiries differently?
She routes them the way you set up — a wedding date enquiry gets captured and flagged, a portrait session gets booked, a commercial enquiry gets the detail you need to quote. You decide what she asks for each.
What does it cost?
$0 setup, 7-day free trial, then from $199/mo CAD, month-to-month, no contract, cancel any time in one click. One booking she catches while you're on a shoot covers months.
